Course Objectives: |
The aim of this course is to provide sufficient technical knowledge with the ability to use it creatively. Architects can better interact with structural, electrical and mechanical engineers in the professional work environment in addition to design optimal architectural projects. Students can acquire the theoretical knowledge of technical courses in learning process and represent it through their design abilities. This course also aims to provide students with an efficient content about mechanical utilities and services. Moreover, it is to introduce students with pre-finishing work including the study of constructional elements, their design principles and detailed relationships and to develop knowledge on the basic decision topics of integration requirements of building. |
Course Content: |
Professional communication tools such as mechanical, electrical systems engineering principles and technical terminology are taught. Principles of building design with special focus on general information about mechanical and electrical installation through architectural design and applications include: heating, cooling, and lighting as form-givers in architecture, HVAC systems, mechanical equipment for heating and cooling, heating systems and basic properties, heating load calculations, ventilation, design of ventilation ducts, refrigeration cycles, design guidelines for mechanical systems, vertical circulations and services in buildings, plumbing systems, design and details of swimming pools, architectural lighting, project examples of lighting installation in structure, photovoltaics and active solar system, types of drainage system inside and outside of a building, safety factors, electronic alarm systems, application principles and possible problems, detailing, materials. |
